HILLARY CLINTON IS A NEOCON

 HILLARY CLINTON IS A NEOCON   [Then, worse than Trump, so far.]
 [ Here only a short version of R Parry’s Art.]

“…the “regime change” obsession blinds the neocons from recognizing that not only are these operations violations of basic international law regarding sovereignty of other nations but the invasions unleash powerful internal rivalries that neocons, who know little about the inner workings of these countries, soon find they can’t control…America’s neocons are so arrogant and so influential that they simply move from one catastrophe  the next like a swarm of locusts spreading chaos and death around the globe.” – Robert Parry

“…neo-conservatism and its close ally neo-liberalism…are concepts that have organized American foreign policy and economics, respectively, over the past several decades. They have failed miserably. Neither approach (neo-liberalism or neo-conservatism) has benefited mankind; both have led to untold death and destruction”.

 “After all, the Washington Establishment remains enthralled to both ‘neos’, favoring the ‘regime change’ interventionism of neo-conservatism and the “free trade” globalism of neo-liberalism. So, this is why Clinton has emerged as the clear favorite of the elites, to ace alternatives like the populist billionaire Donald Trump and democratic socialist of Bernie Sanders.

 The Democratic hierarchy is placing this bet on Clinton in a year when much of the American electorate has risen up against the twin ‘neos’, “millions of Americans are rejecting the ‘neos’ and repudiating the establishment institutions that insist on sustaining these ideologies. Even though “Hillary Clinton is a neocon and – if she becomes President – Americans should expect more global tensions and conflicts in pursuit of the ‘neocons’ signature goal of ‘regime change’ in countries that get in their way.  .. “Beyond sharing this neocon ‘regime change’ obsession, former Secretary of State Clinton also talks like a neocon.

“Clinton, like the neocons, also shows selective humanitarian outrage. For instance, she laments the suffering of Israelis under crude (almost never lethal) rocket fire from Gaza but shows next to no sympathy for Palestinians being slaughtered by sophisticated (highly lethal) Israeli missiles and bombs. .. “She talks about the need for ‘safe zones’ or ‘no-fly zones’ for Syrians…but not for the people of Gaza who face the wrath of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. .. in  Clinton’s (and the neocons) worldview, the Israelis are the aggrieved victims and the Palestinians the heartless aggressors. She promised to put her future administration at the service of the Israeli government.

[Libya was Hillary’s worse fiasco]
“…On April 2, 2011 [Clinton was informed that] Gaddafi’s government had accumulated 143 TONS OF GOLD and a similar amount of silver that ‘was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency’ that would be an alternative to the French franc. [This was] one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya. Sarkozy also wanted a greater share of Libya’s oil production and to increase French influence in North Africa… Americans fought to keep North Africa under France’s thumb. .. they start demonizing Gaddafi with salacious rumors about him giving Viagra to his troops so they could rape more, a ludicrous allegation that was raised by then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, who also claimed that Gaddafi’s snipers were intentionally shooting children. [While this propaganda was run, the gold of Libya was vandalized & disappears.]

 This U.S.-organized ‘regime change’ quickly turned sour as old tribal rivalries, which Gaddafi had contained, were unleashed. Plus, it turned out that rebels against Gaddafi’ were Islamic militants [paid by the Saudis]. On Sept. 11, 2012, one of these extremist militias overran the U.S. consulate in Benghazi killing U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

 “…Like the earlier neocon-driven ‘regime change’ in Iraq, the ‘regime change’ obsession blinds the neocons from recognizing that not only are these operations violations of basic international law regarding sovereignty of other nations but the invasions unleash powerful internal rivalries that neocons, who know little about the inner workings of these countries, soon find they can’t control. .. “…America’s neocons are so arrogant and so influential that they simply move from one catastrophe to the next like a swarm of locust spreading chaos and death around the globe.

A NEOCON TRUE-BELIEVER

In (a recent) debate, Hillary Clinton showed vowed to invade Syria, although she dresses up that reality in pretty phrases like ‘safe zones’ and ‘no-fly zones’. She also revived the idea of increasing the flow of weapons to ‘moderate’ rebels although they, in reality, mostly fight under the command umbrella of Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front.

NATO ON THE MOVE

”With President Obama NATO is moving more and more combat troops up to the Russian border while Washington has organized punishing economic sanctions aimed at disrupting the Russian economy. Clinton is supporting his approach and her “anti-Russian delusions are shared by many powerful people in Official Washington”.

 But Clinton’s potential escalation of the new Cold War with Russia could be both the most costly and conceivably the most suicidal feature of a Clinton-45 presidency. Unlike her times as Secretary of State, when Obama could block her militaristic schemes, there will be no one to stop her if she is elected President, surrounded by likeminded neocon advisers.”
